I'm much more interested in your soldering techniques. I'd rather not
discuss religion with you. I just can't see any good that would come of
it.

* *I wasn't discussing religion, just giving some more definitions of
fools. *I only discuss that subject with people I know.

* *Did you see the post about the Harbor Freight iron not being
practical about converting to three wire power cords? *Also, I got the
flux dispenser bottle in the mail today and I'm not happy with the size
or quality. *The hypodermic needle just pushes on, and isn't very
tight. *They would be OK for the casual user, but not for hours of daily
use. *It's about 1 3/8" diameter * 2 3/4" tall without the cap & a
needle. *I don't think it would be very stable on a cluttered
workbench. *I like the three soldering irons that arrived on Wednsday,
and that there are thousands of tips for sale on Ebay. *The lock ring
connectors are a lot better than the lightweight five pin DIN connectors
and I've located a place to buy them wholesale. *I am considering a
custom, Atmel 2560 based controller that will hold four soldering irons,
a desoldering iron & a built in ohm meter to test the ground
connections. *Each with it's own power switch. *It's annoying to have to
let an iron cool to change a tip, then repatr that for another job. *I
used to barely get by with three irons at Microdyne, but there are times
when I needed a second iron with a large tip. *The pair with the
smallest chisel tips were used to remove surface mounted resistors &
capacitors by heating both ends at once.

I have already offended you in some fashion.. I'd rather not make things
worse by engaging in a debate concerning philosophy, religion, or
politics.

* *Offended me? *I would simply kill file you if that were the case..

Since I rarely solder, Im interested in that "Cold Heat" cordless iron
they show on TV. Seems that would be handy for the little dab of
soldering I do. What say ye?
